College costs are higher than ever and we are doing our part to help local students.

Boulder Oral Surgery & Dental Implants is proud to help two students through its Wisdom For Wisdom program. The program provides free wisdom teeth removal to students, helping them to offset some of their college expenses, like textbooks. During their wisdom teeth removal procedure, each student will be treated with EXPAREL®, a non-opioid, long-lasting treatment that will ensure a healthy recovery after the procedure.

Grace, 17, from Louisville, just graduated from high school and plans to attend Lehigh University. In her application she wrote about how her parents were working hard to help her with college expenses, but having her wisdom teeth removed was not part of their planning or budgeting. She also mentioned how important it was to her to keep her teeth in alignment after wearing braces when she was younger.

Tessa, 17, from Berthoud, is a student at Silver Creek High School with plans to attend the University of Colorado Boulder. She is already working 20 hours a week to help save and pay for college, all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA and taking challenging classes.
